Sculpture Doesn't Have to be Stuffy

With the relaxed schedule of summer the kids have more time for the occasional sleep over. And what is better than staying awake til the wee hours of the night having fun and laughing with friends?

Okay, so maybe as the parent in charge of these late night soirees, I could name one or two things that I would like better, but that's alright. Sleep overs are a part of childhood that all kids must experience and all parents must endure.

One of the fun activities the kids did during their last sleep over was craft some colorful creatures using a Presto Dots kit. I love their creativity and the great details and expressions they gave the creatures so I decided to immortalize them in a sketch.

Yes, there are definitely some girls who want to stay up all night, much to the parents dismay. My rule, they can stay up as long as they don't keep anyone else awake. So far that rule has been working. :)

About Me

Art is one of the ways that I slow down and appreciate life. It gives me an excuse to stop and smell the roses. I am inspired by the beauty I see everyday and enjoy finding a bit of happy to share with the world. I hope my art allows the viewer to pause and feel the beauty, fun and joy in life, because who doesn't deserve more of that? I work mostly with watercolors, graphite and charcoal, but I also like to explore other drawing media.
